maybe i was misunderstood Ive seen some people take #19 twist two pieces together and then haywire twist it also for more strength and so it doesnt kink as easy so they say. Thats what i mean!! If that makes better sense. So pretty much your are doubling up two strand of #19. And i tried to twist a haywire with both and it seemed impossible to do. Thats what i was talking about. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Man 2 #19 wires that has to be hard . I have a haywire machine and it is hard a hell and really won't do it I bet it hard. I have never had #19 kink like thar, it has been bent but a little debro wire roller will make it look new. And they are cheap.
The only time you would wanna double up the #19 is to prevent the "cut thorough" of the swivel's eye. I use 900lb tuna swivels, where that cut through is not a problem without doubling the wire. Also, when you get no hits, while you know that sharks are around, the electrical tape does help, although lately i've read that it does matter what kind of electrical tape you're using which i haven't experimented yet.
Since jonathanbryan got some great results using tape, you ain't gonna see him shark fishing without it. Now that i'm thinking this through better - was that the catch how he end-up second in BHC with the biggest shark caught? I hope not
